Rodriguez will face Dem Elizabeth Coppola in the Nov. 19 general election to replace former GOP Rep. Mark Honadel, who resigned for a job in the private sector.

UPDATE: 10:12 p.m. -- Rodriguez said her position on education resonated with voters, adding that was the biggest concern parents had when she was doing doors.

"I think a lot of them are seeing we do need choices," she said. "I thought it would be jobs or taxes, but definitely what came up all the time was education."

The pro-school choice American Federation for Children Action Fund spent $45,647 on mailers, online ads and robocalls to support her. That easily dwarfed what the other candidates raised in the race. Rodriguez pulled in $8,061 in the pre-primary period, almost twice what Kujawa raised.
